Bad Boys in the Bible ......

Recently I was in a debate in which the religion of Islam was condemned quite strongly.  At one point this comment was made by another:

"As much as you like to defend Mohammad being a prophet, I don't think a loving God would reveal Himself through a fornicator, polygamist rapist and mass murderer. Oh, and I forgot, a pedophile and misogynistic chauvinist."

I asserted that according to the Bible i had read, God had revealed himself to such people. 

Someone else has obviously done a bit of research, as here is a recent video showing some of the "Bad Boys of the Bible".

Bad boys, bad boys
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
When they come for you

Sorry I had to put that little ditty in, I love that song.

From the video and from what I know about the Bible here is a bit of a list, not an endless list mind you, a bit of a list, if I wrote the whole list out I may as well reprint quite a bit of the Bible:

Paul was a murder before God appeared to him.

King Solomon had hundreds of wives and concubines i.e. polygamist and fornicator and I guess misogynistic chauvinist could apply.  He wrote Proverbs,  Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon.

As far as polygamists are concerned well he wasn't alone, notable people included: Abraham, Moses and many others.

As I am sure we all know, quite a bit of murdering of innocent lives takes place in the Bible.  Here is one example:  Killing at God’s instructions with no signs of pity or compassion. Slaughtering old men, young men and maidens, women and children.  Lots of mass murder under God's command.

King David may have been a rapist.  If not a rapist he certainly did have sexual intercourse with a married woman which resulted in her having a son to David and then David had her husband killed and that would make him a murderer. Yes God was not happy with David's actions and God did punish David, by killing the child.  Maybe some think that was a fitting punishment for David, the death of an innocent child.  King David wrote Psalms.

So what is the point of all of this. 

Well really to say: Just be careful when you crap on someone else's religion that you haven't got some dirty little secrets in your own Holy Book.

Bad boys, bad boys
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do
When they come for you ..........
